In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I reveal five truths about grad school admissions no one tells you. First, being qualified isn’t enough. Second, who you know matters. Third, your application story must be strategic. Fourth, “fit” can reflect institutional culture and pressure to assimilate. Fifth, rejection is often driven by factors outside of your control. Tune in to hear me explain exactly what I mean about these truths and why they matter if you are applying to graduate school.
